Mulches, Soil Amendments and
Fertilizers

Coco Bean Mulch: This dark organic mulch, with a chocolate
aroma, comes from the outer shell of the cocoa bean. When moistened,
the mulch sticks together to form a mat that keeps the soil moist
and limits the weed growth while adding nitrogen and potassium to
the soil as it slowly breaks down. This mulch is used extensively
for roses, perennials, and herbs. Available in two cubic foot bags
for $7.50. Call 989 426-2919 for quantity and pallet pricing.

Coir Soil Amendment: This ph-neutral product, made from
the short hairs on the shell of a coconut, can hold up to six
times its volume in water and can remain in the soil for up to five
years. It is an environmentally friendly
replacement for peat moss. Coir helps sandy soil retain moisture and
separates the fine particles in clay soil. Add this to potting soil
to retain moisture in your containersl. Available in three cubic
foot compressed bales (fills 2 wheel-barrows) for $34.00, 14 lb.
blocks (fills one wheelbarrow) for $17.50, and 20 oz. bricks (makes 3
gallons) for $6.50.

Neptune's Harvest Fish Fertilizer: This 100% organic,
liquid plant food is made from fish by- products. It can be sprayed
directly on the foliage of plants so the plant can take up this
2-4-0.5 fertilizer immediately. It can be used as a drench and a
compost enhancer. Since Neptune's Harvest is a cold process product rather than a boiled fish
emulsion, many of the trace elements are available for the plants.
Also, it has very little odor. Finally, Neptune's Harvest provides
bacterial action against many plant pathogens and has been reported
to repel deer. Available one quart ($18.99).

Neptune's Crab Shells: Adds calcium (22.95%) and other
minerals to the soil. Crab shells are also high in chitin
which feeds the bacteria that eat the exoskeletons of fungus and
nematode eggs. When added to the soil, crab shells create a
hostile environment for fungus and nematodes. It has also been
shown to reduce ant population on lawns and in gardens.
